Heirs of the Apostles : Studies on Arabic Christianity in Honor of Sidney H. Griffith /
:
Heirs of the Apostles offers a panoramic survey of Arabic-speaking Christians-descendants of the Christian communities established in the Middle East by the apostles-and their history, religion, and culture in the early Islamic and medieval periods. The subjects range from Arabic translations of the Bible, to the status of Christians in the Muslim-governed lands, Muslim-Christian polemic, and Christian-Muslim and Christian-Jewish relations. The volume is offered as a Festschrift to Sidney H. Griffith, the doyen of Christian Arabic Studies in North America, on his eightieth birthday. Contributors are: David Bertaina, Elie Dannaoui, Stephen Davis, Nathan P. Gibson, Cornelia Horn, Sandra Toenies Keating, Juan Pedro Monferrer-Sala, Johannes Pahlitzsch, Andrew Platt, Thomas W. Ricks, Barbara Roggema, Harald Suermann, Mark N. Swanson, Shawqi Talia, Jack Tannous, David Thomas, Jennifer Tobkin, Alexander Treiger, Ronny Vollandt, Clare Wilde, and Jason Zaborowski.

Index of verb forms in Thucydides /
:
This index lists all verb forms in Thucydides, with the total number of occurrences of the verbs and crossreferences to the compounds. Two appendices provide lists of verb forms that are attested in the manuscripts but have been removed by conjecture from the printed text and of all attested variant readings. In providing easy access to the verb system as it is attested in Thucydides, it is an invaluable tool for research into the verb system in Thucydides in particular and in Ancient Greek in general, on matters of lexicography or morphology, and more particularly on various aspects of the semantics of the verb system, such as the use of aspectual forms and that of the moods and voices.

Voies vers l'autre : Dupin - Bonnefoy - Noël - Guillevic /
:
Si la poésie contemporaine continue à sonder ses propres carences, à creuser sans répit tout ce qui se prolonge en elle comme absence et manque, ses humbles conquêtes ne s'affir-ment le plus souvent qu'au moment d'une immense dissolution qui oppose à tout geste d'appropriation définitive une communion fuyante, ouverte et vitale. Dans la trame déliée de l'écriture se dessine non point l'image achevée, le reflet immobilisé de l'autre, mais quelques traces de son bref, de son infixable passage qui rejoint dans le monde la sombre vérité, l'en aller irrévocable, de toute existence mortelle. Voie vers l'autre, la poésie demeure de nos jours voie terrestre, voie incertaine, qui arrache l'être à la fixité et aux fixations du moi pour qu'il s'atteigne, sans cesse refait, dans la précarité immédiate de ce qui surgit, s'offre et s'efface. Notre étude interroge les œuvres de quatre poètes qui avancent courageusement dans cette voie, qui mesurent entre soi et l'autre, signe et présence, idée et monde, non seulement ruptures et écarts, mais l'espace tremblant d'un entre-deux susceptible de se muer subitement et comme inauguralement en cri et accès.

Later Platonists and their Heirs among Christians, Jews, and Muslims /
:
Later Platonists and their Heirs among Christians, Jews and Muslims offers a thought-provoking exploration of the reception of Platonism among communities of faith from early Christianity to the sixteenth century, from the Byzantine East to the Latin West. Rare emphasis is placed on the importance of Platonic thought and its diffusion in late antique and medieval Syria, Armenia, and Georgia but also among Arab and Jewish intellectuals from the seventh century onwards. As such, the volume makes a statement against the separation of Neoplatonic philosophy from Christianity and the other Abrahamic faiths, since all four traditions promoted a life of virtue and goodness despite operating under different divine auspices. The volume seeks to establish paths of transmission and modes of adaptation across times and places.

Two studies in the semantics of the verb in classical Greek /
:
The first part of this volume offers an analysis of the use and distribution of the perfect in the classical period of ancient Greek, based on the complete relevant material in Aeschylus, Sophocles, Euripides (tragic poetry), Aristophanes (comic poetry), Thucydides, Xenophon's Anabasis (historical prose), Lysias (rhetorical prose) and Xenophon's Opuscula (various prose types). The material is made accessible by several indices. In the second part insights gained in the field of discourse analysis are applied to the description of the contrast between aorist and present verb forms. The author has endeavoured to provide an explicit account of the actual functioning of these verb forms in their contexts . Special care has been given to reducing technical jargon in the interest of those who feel themselves classicists rather than professional linguists.
